I knew that iOffer was ranked 2nd for awhile now. If you sell real goods, don't expect them to sell. ⊗⊗⊗⊗ stuff is everywhere there. My programs that I've listed on there which I could sell 10 copies at least a day on ebay, I've sold 1 copy for $1.95 in 3 weeks, which ususally sells for $9.95 all day long on ebay.
However, lists are free and stays up forever until sold. Expect stupid noobs offering you 1/2 of what you want.
ecrater is good but sucks if you want to use html as its prohibited.
CQout is the 2nd largest auction site in UK. I've listed on there for 1 week now with no sell. Also they make you pay $4.00 to verify your seller account. Also they limit the amount of your characters in the description to 30,000, which was not enough for me.
Ubid is good but you have to be a big company to sell on there. That or post ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info to qualify.
Most of the other sites like onlineauction, tazbar, and plunder here are ⊗⊗⊗⊗ sales. I mean you see people selling but really it is sellers buying from other sellers. They have a forum and agree to buy each others crap, thus making it look like they have real sales. Real sales mean you don't have to buy your buyers stuff.
All in all, ebay still pwns all those sites. In a couple of cases ebay is killed by rival sites. For example, trademe in New Zealand, yahooauctions Japan in Japan, taobao in China, etc. But that is irrelevant if you are in the US. Or if you are fluent in chinese, or Japanese. Trademe banned digital items so that is a no go for me. Another issue is that paypal is unpopular among foreign buyers and it is next to impossible to setup their popular online money transfers because you have to be a resident of that country.
I've done my homework when I was suspended and looking for alternatives, so I know alot. Unfortunately ebay still pwns them all. I am currently on cqout, ioffer, and plunderhere. Only yielded 1 sale on ioffer in 3 weeks. |
